End of season update, It's been a busy summer.
First race after CRAA was Velodromloppet. Qualified 5th and had two good races hunting a much newer Royale RP31 finishing 5th in the first race and 2nd in the second race.
As I just turned 50 I got some nice mugs from the class, Thanks!
The day after Velodromloppet I left for USA for 3weeks of work and then the family joined and we continued for another 4 weeks. This have been my plan for 3 years as my 50-yrs trip. Thank's to all on Apexspeed who came up with tips on what to see and do!, Click on the picture below for more on my USA trip.
Mantorp 19-21 August
Nothing much to say about this event, the car was quick and reliable and I managed to chance some of the newer cars again.

Falkenberg 17-18 September
Season final at my favourite track. Again a lovely weekend, a lot of nice cars at the infield display area. It was a a small but good bunch of cars this year.
2 races of hunting Tommy Ryden in his VD RF 89. Finished 3rd in 1st race and 5th overall in 2nd race.
It is the Focus restoration that is taking time from updating my web page.
The Focus was finally finished to the extent that it could be shown at Velodromloppet but not driven due to some minor issues.

Time for an update!
We are just back from CRAA, an amazing event with 40000 spectators in Aarhus, Denmark. This was my first time there and my first experience of a street circuit.
It was a special feeling driving on public roads at high speed all between concrete walls.
I missed out on the free practice due to some paperwork issue with my Licence. However I think this inspired me to get a good time for qualifying sine I had no Idea of the track or the competitors.
However all went well and I set the fastest qualifying time with 1:28.xx
First race I lead from the start until the pace car came out due someone spilling oil on the track and a second car spun out and crashed. The race finished under safety car.
Second race I led from start to finish despite jumping the start and had to through the penalty lane.
3rd race I did not manage to get a clean start and felt some pressure from Oliver Smith during the first laps before I could build a gap and focus ahead instead on the mirrors.
The race was red flagged to let the ambulance it to the infield, a spectator was run over by a car and was brought to hospital. Reportedly it was not critical.
Before the red flag I improved my time from qualifying further to 1:26.xx
We thoroughly enjoyed our self during the weekend and will hopefully be back in 2017.
It is the Focus restoration that is taking time from updating my web page but it is progressing and hopefully it will be tested at Velodromloppet in June.
